Hi, it has happened again (previous time was 5 May 2010). This time I used gdb rather than strace, but still don't know what's wrong: Calling recv on the nfq_fd had returned -512. (why?) At that point my daemon calls nfq_destroy_queue(), which does not return: (gdb) bt #0 0x00007ff3b6e50450 in recvfrom () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007ff3b696105c in nfnl_talk () from /usr/lib/libnfnetlink.so.0 #2 0x00007ff3b79a429f in __build_send_cfg_msg (h=0x6073a0, command=2 '\002', queuenum=<value optimized out>, pf=0) at libnetfilter_queue.c:112 #3 0x00007ff3b79a430d in nfq_destroy_queue (qh=0x607410) at libnetfilter_queue.c:258 #4 0x00000000004021f7 in daemon_loop (h=0x6073a0, db=0x606570) at ibd-judge.c:477 #5 0x0000000000402a75 in main (argc=<value optimized out>, argv=<value optimized out>) at ibd-judge.c:739 Any idea?
